Don't be shocked if Tony and Ziva are already a couple, or at least friends with benefits, by the time season eleven premieres. Despite all their talk of friendship last night, the only thing that's kept them from hooking up over the past season is the fact that they're NCIS partners. But with four months of no professional ties standing in between them, there's every reason to believe "Tiva" could happen during their time off.

"NCIS" executive producer Gary Glasberg hinted something similar when he told Entertainment Weekly that "there's a little more to it" than just friends for the coworkers.

"I think they're sort of dancing around each other and trying to get a sense of how to move forward and, based on everything that's happened in the last year, where they are and what the next step is going to be," he said. "And, you know, we're letting it slowly percolate and build and hopefully get it to a place that's going to be satisfying for everybody."

And whom will Gibbs [Mark Harmon] end up shooting? We want to know who this mystery man is that FBI agent Tobias Fornell [Joe Spano] is trying to protect.

"In the season opener, we will see the progression of time leading up to that moment that everyone just experienced, and in that progression, we'll see the case that Gibbs is assigned to, the specifics of the case, how it is unfolded, who the players are, and then when we get to the exact moment. It will all make sense," Glasberg also told EW.
